Jack-in-the-Box

Final project for CS 4730 - Computer Game Design Instructed by Robbie Hott.

By: Jerry Gu (ncq9fn), Joseph Choe (jc4zr), Philip Yao (hae6ds)

This game is a tense, skill-based platformer where players wind up a jack-in-the-box and use the spring to jump. But since the jump is randomized each time, it blends precision aiming, RNG tension, and carnival aesthetic. Navigate unpredictable leaps across treacherous stages, mastering risk versus as you platform through rage-inducing levels.

How to play: 

Press and hold spacebar to charge your jump Use the Left and Right arrow keys to change the angle of your jump Press escape to return to level select
